All I ask from you is to be by myself.

Though I love you like nobody else.

I don't wish you no bad for doin' me wrong:

I wish you'd just leave me alone.



I refuse to talk about goodbye:

When it's over, it don't matter why.

So I'm lettin' go, and you're hanging on,

I wish you'd just leave me alone.



Ninety-nine years from now, who will care anyhow?

There's ninety-nine reasons to lie.



Just keep movin' on, 'cause our love is gone.

I don't blame you, just leave me alone.



Instrumental break.



Ninety-nine years from now, who will care anyhow?

There's ninety-nine ways I may be wrong.



Just give me this time, for me and my mind.

I don't blame you, just leave me alone.



Please, darlin', just leave me alone.
